TEA BOWL "CHAWAN"

                                                       An exquisite collectible for Tea Ceremony enthusiasts.

Handmade matcha bowl by Minoyaki.

Minoyaki is one of the most common and popular types of pottery in Japan, accounting for approximately 50% of pottery produced in Japan today. With a long history of approximately 1300 years, Mino ware continues to be popular as new techniques are applied in its production.

The fine streaks of beautiful Japanese Red coat the bowl and settle at the bottom to form a shiny surface.

Dimensions: 11×7.5cm

Care guide to preserve its beauty and longevity:
- Hand wash with cold or warm water and wipe off moisture from the surface before use each time to avoid stains.
- After use, rinse with clean water and dry well before storing.
- I do not recommend washing with a dishwasher as it may cause dishes to collide, chip or crack.
- Do not use items in the microwave or oven.

BAMBOO WHISK "CHASEN"

at the heart of the tea ceremony

This shiratake white bamboo Kazuho Chasen (matcha whisk)was made in Takayama, Nara by Kubo Sabun of Chikumeido.

Chikumeido Sabun is one of the most honored Tea-whisk manufacturers in Japan, with traditions and expertise that stretch back over 500 years.Chikumeido is headed by Kubo Sabun, a 24th generation chasen maker who has carried on his family's old tradition and is one of the only 18 remaining chasen masters. These chasens are made from locally grown bamboo in the small village of Takayama in northwest Nara prefecture, famed as the only chasen making village in Japan.

The present head of the household is the 24th generation, Kubo Sabun. Kubo Sabun has presented his craft internationally at the Louvre in Paris, the United Nations Ambassador's residence in New York and at the "Japan House" in London.

In 1987 he was recognized as a traditional master craftsman by the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Japan. Later, in 2015, he was awarded the "Order of the Rising Sun" . The kazuho shape is the most basic style of chasen. Compared to the shin kazuho it has straighter tines that are tightly curled at the tip. Like the shin, the kazuho has roughly 64 tines, and sits in between dedicated usucha chasen which have lots of thin tines, and dedicated koicha chasen, which have fewer but thicker tines.

This makes kazuho-type chasen suitable both for whipping up a fine, foamy usucha and kneading a thick, rich koicha.

Dimensions:
6.2cm (2.4in)
11.5cm (4.5in)

Unlike mass-produced matcha chasens, these chasen are entirely handmade, without the use of machines or chemicals to expedite the bamboo growing, drying, or shaping processes, requiring immense time and skill to craft. As such, Takayama chasen have finer, more flexible tines and a greater attention to detail, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also easier and more enjoyable to use and more durable in the long run.

WHISK STAY "CHASEN YASUME"

                                                             An essential item to accompany your chasen  

CARING FOR YOUR CHASEN
This chasen yasume maintains the shape of your chasen and is easy to store.
In addition, its design allows for air to pass through to prevent mold.

- After using the chasen, fill a bowl with lukewarm water, and whisk the chasen until the tines are clean.
- If there are any matcha left on the tines, gently wipe them with your fingers.
- Make sure to fully dry the chasen in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight before storing it.
- Do not use any soap or sponges, and be sure to clean the chasen shortly after use.

*Stoneware from Hyogo prefecture.

TEA SIFTER ・CHASHAKU

Stainless Tea Sifter/ Handmade by craftsmen in Niigata. / Used for sifting matcha powder to eliminate clumps, resulting in delicious, smooth matcha.

PURE JAPANESE SUGAR "WASANBON"

The Amazing Taste of Wasanbon: The Perfect Accompaniment to Matcha

Wasanbon embodies the artistry and refinement of Japanese culture.

Its exceptional quality, subtle sweetness, and aesthetic charm make it the perfect companion for matcha green tea. So, the next time you enjoy a cup of matcha, don’t forget to add a touch of Wasanbon to elevate your tea journey to new heights.

Embrace the taste of Japan and immerse yourself in the wonders of Wasanbon!

The design KITSUNE wasanbon is reminiscent of Kyoto's famous Fushimi Inari,with its motifs of foxes and torii gates. It's a cute dried sweet that seems tobring good luck.

The raw material, Sanuki Wasanbon, is pure Japanese white sugar produced in Kagawa Prefecture. This sugar is made using a traditional method and is characterized by fine crystals and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Smooth to the touch, the natural taste and flavor of sugar, and an elegant texture that melts in your mouth, like snow. These are impressive dried sweets created by the handiwork of craftsmen.
